Abstract
It is very important to construct statistical model in order to exactly estimate the signal variance from a noisy image. In order to estimate variance, information of neighboring region is used generally. The size of neighbor region is varied according to the regional characteristics of image. More accurate estimation of edge variance is due to smaller region of neighbor, on the other hands, larger region of neighbor is used to estimate the variance of flat region. By using estimated variance of original image, in general, Wiener filter is constructed, and it is applied to the noisy image. In this paper, we propose a new method for determining the range of neighbors to estimate the variance in wavelet domain. Firstly, a significance map is constructed using the parent-child relationship of wavelet domain. Based on the number of the significant wavelet coefficients, the range of neighbors is determined and then the variance of the original signal is estimated using ML(maximum likelihood method. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields better results than conventional methods for image denoising.
